Gokyo Lake Renjo La Pass Trek

This is the ideal trek for those who seek to get off the busier trails in the Everest region while still hiking in the shadows of Everest. The trip commences with a stunning mountain flight from Kathmandu to Hillary’s Lukla airport. After experiencing the enthralling old trading bazaar of Namche, we pass by the ancient Tibetan trading route of Tibetan caravans. Then, we clamber on up to the dramatic Renjo La Pass at 5390 m.

Trekking at a pace that suits your body, we move through Sherpa villages and yak pastures as we emerge into the astonishing Gokyo Valley with its gorgeous lakes. Then we ascend Gokyo Ri for one of the best views of Everest and the neighboring peaks of Cho Oyu in Tibet. From our isolated high camp west of Gokyo we get set for the most challenging part of the trek- the crossing of the Renjo La.

The views of Everest leave us breathless as we intertwine our way to the top of the pass at 5390 m, before our descent to Marlung along a seldom used trail.
